“Seams” Like Magic!

“Seams” Like Magic!

Years ago, when I was more overweight than I currently am, I wore nothing but oversized clothing….thinking it made me look thinner. It took many episodes of WHAT NOT TO WEAR to convince me that wearing clothes designed to fit my body was the way to look thinner…not hiding myself under tents.  Stacy and Clinton also…

Baby-Cakes

Baby-Cakes

I thought this was so cute!  Before my daughter and her husband left Saipan, they wanted a cute way to tell their friends who their baby is.  They had this cake made with both pink and blue feet all over the top….but the color of the filling in the middle would reveal the official news…

It’s That Weekend….

It’s That Weekend….

Change over weekend! Clearing out weekend! I do not have the luxury of a large closet where everything can hang. So the first or second weekend in October, I usually put away the obvious summer items and bring out the cooler weather clothes.  I started the process in September this year, but warm weather discouraged…

Gigi’s Favorite Store!

Gigi’s Favorite Store!

Gigi and I both found yesterday’s post to be very interesting.  For the most part, we are all seeking the same things from retailers.  We just do not see that many meeting our needs.

Last May, I wrote of a blood test which was my last straw.  I…

My Love/Hate Relationship with Burgundy!

My Love/Hate Relationship with Burgundy!

Today is Burgundy Day!  I am joining other bloggers on Tuesday for a tribute to this saturated, rich color hosted by Jill and Adrienne! My problem with the color is that there are days I love the jewel-toned richness and autumn beauty of it….then there are days I am exhausted by it.  The school where I…

Foxcroft Blouses: You Have to See this Blouse!!

It’s true….I really do love this blouse.  The minute I saw it on the Foxcroft Collection website, I knew I had to have it.  The silver, gold, black print is perfect for so many looks in my wardrobe. A rainy weekend made me think of this cape I purchased last year at Stein Mart.  It pairs perfectly…
